アイアンマンゲット

One of the best looking Iron Man figures i've seen in awhile. The attention to detail looks spetacular.

crap. Danny, next time ask for a Fairlady Z.

So fancy... Is the figure's balance good?

Whenever I watch Iron Man I HAVE to eat pizza when watching it.. I think it's because of that scene when Stain brings back pizza from New York.. Mmmm =P~~~

That figure looks incredible though, Danny. I really love the attention to detail on it =]

I never thought it was possible to have a gundam/ironman figure with lights O_O
Now I feel like trying to light up my Destiny...

Hey Danny, this Iron Man is actually more pose-able than it seems. The joints are kinda rigid at first due to the finishing. You might want to try to move them often to season it so as to get to your desired pose.

Been playing with it a lot after I got mine. Other than some minor manufacturer's defects here and there, otherwise, this is definitely a good buy (",)

;_; that is cool~

suddenly i miss those non-plastic toys of robots like transformers

cool...
In 3rd pic, the Ironman is scanning the mac XD XD
Nice shot!

Also it may look cool but i've heard Hot Toys figures in general are fairly brittle and have pieces that snap off easily if you don't handle it properly. For toys that cost more than $200 thats a bit risky i think.

Though i'll admit Hot Toys Iron Man does look very cool. Its the ultimate movie accurate Iron Man figure to own.

More suddenly acquired goods! :o

Ore wa Hoshi!!

Epic Iron man *_____*
You have the best job ever. No not like this. Like this - THE BEST JOB EVER.

Iron man in less than 24 hours.. Ai rabu your jobu too.

The SAF gods smile upon you, again... ^^;

Man, you're lucky. But I still love my Iron Man mk.III from the movie's regular toy line (and his inexplicable Roadbuster car).

It's indeed very, very detailed !!
I also like the MK-II Iron Man ~
The cool-iron is what makes the MK-II so great !
Danny, what do you think abou the MK-II ?

................

who doesn't rabu your jobu~

HT is just so great~ But the price.... TwT

That Iron Man is really really cool!, but I'm not a fan, I won't buy it.

iron man is one of the best movie of 2008! watch u must!

Wooo awesome figure ^_^

http://www.hebeiltd.com.cn/?p=zz.led.resistor.calculator

Use this to figure out the resistance. At least if you know what kind of LEDs are in there. I use it when I put LEDs in random things for cosplay.

congrats! big envy on my side!

I called my local shop and ordered one yesterday, but they told me it will take till may... grrrrr.

Sweet mother of awesome... I want it....my friend wants this even more than I do lol.

Awesome item you got there danny.
Iron Man is one of my fav and is on my wishlist.

REally cool. You are so lucky to have all these sponsors it's not even fair anymore ^^;

I am not an electronics person but that doesn't stop me from trying. As you already know, be careful with custom USB hookups. You do not want to short your computer ^^;

USB2.0 provides 5V and 100mA of power: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Power

For a single LED, there's this: http://www.instructables.com/id/SG3EJS1F4OXGE4Q/

For Ironman, I would consider what voltage and power the batteries provide, and compare this to what USB provides. I would imagine that there are already resistors in place, and that the LEDs are wired in parallel. If the batteries provide more than 5V I think you are safe without needing more resistors, since USB would then likely be underdriving Ironman. I would dismantle Ironman to check.

Online LED resistor calculators work off of Ohm's Law, but require that you know the specifications for the LEDs you're using so they're not of much use, I think.

An alternative to USB would be to use a wall-wart (and then there's the option of choosing a different voltage and power)...

damn, you're so lucky

Wow...cool...movie replica...

Woah...that's one awesome Iron Man figure I've ever seen..I'm almost speechless

dunno what to say....

looks really expensive, probably to much for me to handle

Seemed to be lots of part which are moveable.

Looks great.
What's the diffenece between MK II and III?
Just the colour?

Looks awesome

Looks great ^^ one of the best "toys" I've seen yet.

DC.com is a wishing portal for Danny ^_^

I love your job too~ Seriously who doesnt? =D

I actually JUST did a project involving USB and LEDs. You basically just have some minor rules to contend with and a few simple equations.

USB provides 5v and 100mA of current. As long as you stay within those limits you should be fine.

To figure out what resistor values you need you need to look at the forward voltage of the LEDs themselves. For example, if you have an LED with a forward voltage of 3.4 you then subtract that from the total voltage, 5v in this case which leaves you with 1.6v. You then use the Ohm's Law to determine your resistor value. Ohm's Law is V=IR where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance. You also need to use the equation P=IV where P is power (watts), I is current and V is voltage. Using the values we have such as the max current possible is 100mA we can then determine resistance. Using Ohms Law:

V = I*R -> R = V/I -> R = 1.6v/100mA = 16 Ohms

This is only for a single LED to do more you have to wire the LEDs + resistors in parallel and modify the equation. When simplifying a circuit, resistors add in parallel like this:
1/(1/R+1/R+1/R) where R is any arbitrary resistance.

Using that logic and the equations above we will do an example. Say we want 5 resistors in parallel. Then we would add the resistances
1/(1/R+1/R+1/R+1/R+1/R) = R/5

Then we substitute that into Ohm's Law
V=I*R/5 -> R = V*5/I

So in summary, a generalized equation for this would be:
R = (5v-forward voltage of LED)*(Number of LEDs you want)/100mA

If you have any questions don't hesitate to message me.

Man, that's so cool that now I'M in a mood to watch Iron Man as well! (^ ^)

This is an awesome toy!

Nice, love the flaps and lights. Who is the figure next to Iron Man?

Wow that was exceedingly fast ^^... what figure are you planning to get next Danny?

Looks larger than I would have thought when compared to the one next to it. So awesome. I wanted the other Iron-man figure that was similar with the lights and all, after I watched the movie for the first time.

Looks great!

really nice figure, anyone know how much is the figure? $200 USD?

A sweet 1/6 figure, got loads of these hot toys masterpieces, also got a super awesome custom 1/6 Darth Vader

Ahhh more free stuff. Man you really got it made Danny. I can't even afford to by a single figure these days, but you get all yours for free. I find that amusing ya know..I really want a figure and have to wait a month or two to save up the extra cash, and you most likely have more than enough money to support your hobbies, but all your stuff is free. Being a poor otaku is just absolutely terrible..........

shoooo cooool :D:D

thats one cool looking iron man. might have to buy one.

Too cool, Danny… can't wait to see the Mark II.

Wow, you already got one in less than 24 hours O_O, I envy you Danny i really really do

I want one, too!

Really really neat.
Once again I am jealous of your RAF. ^^;;

You know what?Sometimes i really,really hate you Danny ;-P

Dear Danny Choo:

I hate you.

Sincerely, Chaos.

PS. Where can I get people to buy me stuff too? My life is perilously short of SAFs.

Prefer War Machine actually !!!

Haha Lucky you with the sponsors. You sure got it real quick though... I'm gonna pick up my Kotobukiya Iron Man bust statue tomorrow (hopefully) with glowing parts too! I'd love to get this figure, but hella expensive!!!

O my god,waht a good timing.............

I also like Kotobukiya's version of Iron Man. However, it is a statue instead of an action figure.

WOW the detail is incredibly striking, putting that in my top 3 list.

ooh my precious!

"Last time I wired up my Gundam MK II to a USB, I didn't use a resistor and burnt out the eyes - would like to modify Iron Man so that hes constantly lit up by USB - anybody got a tutorial?"

A good place to get information on this is from http://makezine.com/ , Im a regular reader and you could probably find what your looking for and then some.

Go Hot Toys!!!!!

Wow, Hot Toys Iron Man looks really detailed and well... hot! Love all the LEDs that light up as well. You certainly do have a jobu that all of us would rabu desu, Danny ^__^

And I was only looking at their toys last night haha.
They make really good ones, I saw a Resident Evil / Biohazard 4 Lean S. Kennedy in RPD uniform which I very much like and wished I owned. I saw the price and I instantly fell on my bed wishing I was rich. >.<

I hate you Danny! Now where's my SAF?? XD

gimme gimme... more awesome giveaway purizu?!

omg omg omg omg

I want one!

I guess I am the only person here that does not like Iron Man at all. ^^"

It really does look impressive. How lucky for you to get an Iron Man so soon after saying you want one. You should try that with a new car and see if you get it.

I also want a SAFS... specially when it comes to a HOT TOYS figure (and that iron man... men, you're so "lucky" danny xD)

Ohhhhaaaa~~
it looks soooo beautifuuuuuuuuuuuuul

I would get one even though my preference is Japanese Figures
guuuhhh..what attention to detail..
wish gundams were like that out of the box too XD

Thats one cool looking Iron Man.. Nice details too.. ^^

I have an old tutorial on the LED with resistor:
http://www.marvinryan.com/blog/2006/09/12/how-to-usb-your-gundam/
the LED eyes on my Gundam MK-II has been working for 3 years now. ^^

I'm sorry for posting a similar message on the other post. ^^;

Really like the detail on this...dang I still have to watch the movie too...

god damn it, why are you so expensive?

That is so awesome!

I need to be honest, I am too envyous for words right now.
You have the greatest job ever. ^^

Wow, its like you're a king!
You say you want it and next you got it!

Pretty detailed piece.
They forgot the detail for the insides of the calf flaps :P

Iron Man was a good movie. Great for people who never followed the series in the first place. Course now how can you follow the dozens of alternate universes Marvel has going for these things now.

i got mine a week ago. :D took the pains to commute to Kuala Lumpur and bought it pronto. the shop only got 2 iron man mark IIIs left in stock. super lucky! now, mr red armor stood behind my mcfarlane's legendary collection master chief and eternally giving him fire support. :)

MARVELOUS

too bad it looks like it doesn't have the dart launchers - those were awesome

looks amassing!!

That looks incredibly realistic...

That is really amazing how those compartments open up, and the shiny and all. ^_^ Awesomeness. Thx for the review Danny! :D

That looks so amazing. Can't wait for it to be on sale...

I thought figmas were good with the quality and articulation, but this Iron man looks really high quality for a figure with movable joints.

I really like the lights on it too!

Maybe you can ask for another, and make an ita-ironman. :D

Man, the gods of otaku must really love you XD

holy crap... this completely puts the TOYS-R-US IRON man toys to shame... this thing is BEAUTIFUL... albeit the pricetag... D=

I would give a sensitive, somewhat-necessary body part for that. Seriously hot stuff. I luff Iron Man sooooo much.

That is one sweet looking figure. I would love to get a hold of one of those. I've got a couple of Spiderman figures that would like to go a couple of rounds with him.

I really want one of this :)

Hot Toys 1/6 figures are REALLY top of the range these days..just got a Dallas figure from the Alien movie myself..sweet set!

ah you beat me too it, i was going to get it also.

Hot Toys stuff is really awesome these days, my bf got this Iron Man and I love how well made it is. Thinking of getting the Michael Jackson one (whatever anyone says, he's still a music legend) :)

nice score Danny, here's an idea for kitbashing a Tony Stark (http://tinyurl.com/dlqq3h) using the extra head that comes with the figure.

I'm gonna' hunt for him as soon when I I get back to Taiwan ~

this is awesome

no hope....for me

OMG that's so freakin' COOL. Tried to search it online but pretty much sold out everywhere -.-

Now is REALLY interested in IronMan Mk.II, but money does not allow me to click the Pre-Order button ;_;

Wonder which is cooler tho, the Mk.II or Mk.III....

I have the Mark II version. I'm thinking about buying the Mark III one, but I'm not so sure... You're photos are convincing me, though! Haha!

very, very cool.. i should prolly watch this movie at some point, lol..

i want this soooooo bad, in the process of saving and student loan should be coming in useful when i get it lol
